Courtroom No. 1 2018 and 2019

The position of the Chief Justice of India is not only one of the most coveted in the Parliamentary and democratic government structure of our nation state, but also, in fact, an institution in its own right. It is an office which derives its authority directly from the Constitution of India. There have been numerous discussions across the legal history of our country contemplating the appointment and stature of the Chief Justice of India symbolizing the idea of the “independence of judiciary,” a component of the basic structure of our Constitution. Very little, however, has been said and written about the human component of the oce of the Chief Justice of India. Courtroom No. 1—2018 and 2019 attempts to understand the place of the Chief Justice of India within the Court and upon the Bench, not just as the administrator in chief of the Supreme Court, but also as an adjudicator of disputes and protector of the Constitution. With this vision, the Delhi Metropolitan Education (DME) has analyzed all the cases of 2018 and 2019 issued from the Bench of the Chief Justice of India to understand his impact over the proceedings and the subjective human component that plays a role in the making of a judgment.
